"Dude you’ve played like sh*t for six months": Stubbs sees Ruud lamenting lack of publicity as his own doing

Former player Rennae Stubbs called out Ruud for his comments over the lack of publicity his play has received by explaining that he has been terrible for a long time.

Ruud's last major result on a tennis court came at the US Open where he made the final but was beaten by Alcaraz. Since then Ruud largely struggled with his tennis and it was quite apparent this year that he struggled in a major way, probably unlike any other time in his career. It all changed in Estoril where he won the trophy and at that event, Ruud questioned the media for not covering him.

On that Stubbs said:

"Although I would like you to explain to me why he’s complaining that he doesn’t get enough publicity after he won that tournament in Portugal but it’s basically the first time he’s won more than two matches at a tournament all year. And yet he wins one tournament and he’s like, “you know I feel like I don’t get enough coverage.” I’m like dude you’ve played like sh*t for six months."
